Angelelli Automobili Unveils Project 754 800-HP Coachbuilt Porsche 911

Angelelli Automobili Unveils Project 754: A Coachbuilt Supercar

Engineering the 911 Platform for 50 Exclusive Clients

Project 754 represents a departure from standard vehicle manufacturing by operating as a coachbuilt venture. Rather than starting from a blank slate, Angelelli Automobili utilizes the structural foundation of existing Porsche 911 models from the 991 and 992 generations. Despite using these donor platforms, the company has explicitly confirmed to the public that there is no industrial or commercial partnership with Porsche. The vehicle is extensively reworked with a completely new design, revised mechanical components, and bespoke aerodynamic solutions, ensuring the final product looks nothing like a vehicle from Stuttgart.

The production run is strictly limited to 50 units—25 examples of the 754 R and 25 examples of the 754 M—ensuring a high degree of exclusivity for each owner. According to the company, this model relies on advanced additive manufacturing techniques to reduce weight, replacing standard components with 3D-printed titanium and alloy parts. These metallic structural elements are integrated with a full carbon-fiber exterior, a combination designed to optimize the power-to-weight ratio for vehicles expected to produce between 700 and 800 horsepower. These parts are engineered to remove unnecessary material while maintaining the necessary strength and rigidity.

Comparing the 754 R and 754 M Driving Philosophies

The most significant technical choice facing prospective buyers is the selection between two distinct driving layouts. As the company outlined, each car is built to order, with every vehicle receiving an individual production number and a unique specification sheet tailored to the owner’s requirements.

Configuration	Engine Placement	Primary Objective
754 R	Rear-Engine	Acceleration and traction
754 M	Mid-Engine	Weight distribution and handling precision

The 754 R maintains the classic rear-engine layout found in the donor 911, focusing on the aggressive acceleration and traction characteristics associated with that design. In contrast, the 754 M requires a more intensive mechanical overhaul. By shifting the powertrain to a mid-engine position, the engineering team must remove the rear firewall and completely redesign the cooling, suspension geometry, and exhaust routing of the 992 chassis. This configuration aims for balanced weight distribution and increased handling precision during high-speed cornering.

Advanced Manufacturing and Aerodynamic Integration

To manage the high output of the engine, the vehicle incorporates custom aerodynamic hardware refined through extensive wind tunnel testing. The design includes adjustable front spoilers and an active rear wing, intended to provide high-speed stability, cooling performance, and downforce. These features are supported by proprietary generative design systems, which allow the team to use topology optimization to remove excess material from structural components while maintaining necessary rigidity.

This approach highlights a growing shift in the boutique supercar market. Instead of building bespoke carbon tubs from scratch—a process that costs hundreds of millions in R&D—independent builders are acquiring world-class platforms and modifying the physical layout to achieve hypercar performance metrics. Because each vehicle is built to the owner’s specifications, buyers have the ability to tailor everything from suspension tuning and materials to finishes and aerodynamic details, which fundamentally alters the car’s handling characteristics beyond mere aesthetic changes.
